Suspend uses the bdev field as its means of telling which swap devices
are in use. (This info needs to be used at resume time without actually
doing the swapon[s] again). In order to avoid an oops in the suspend
code if the user turns off a swap device, this small addition is
necessary. (If you want the long explanation, feel free to ask!)
